🪽 Wing (Make 2 – Mirror Image Optional)

Work in rows turning at end, shaping with short rows and stitch height variation for feather curves.

Main Wing Panel

1. ch 18, start in 2nd ch from hook:
   Row 1: sc 4, hdc 4, dc 4, tr 5 (17 sts)
   Row 2: ch 1, turn, tr 4, dc 4, hdc 4, sc 5 (17 sts)

   Row 4: ch 1, turn, tr 3, dc 3, hdc 3, sc 8 (17 sts)

This creates a subtle wavy edge resembling feathers.

---

Outer Wing Shell Border

Without fastening off, work single crochet evenly around the entire wing edge to define shape. At each outer tip, place 2 sc to help curve the edge.

Optional: Add a row of reverse single crochet (crab stitch) for texture.

---

Mirror Wing (Optional)

To create the opposite wing as a mirrored version, you can:

• Flip the wing horizontally after making
• Or, reverse stitch direction by crocheting left-to-right (for left-handed look)
• Or simply make 2 identical wings — they’ll still look charming on either side

---

🧵 Assembly

1. Position the neck on one short end of the swan body and sew in place securely.
2. Attach both wings symmetrically on the left and right.
3. Insert your tissue box from the bottom or pull tissues through the slit.
4. Optional: Add a tiny golden crown or a ribbon bow for extra charm.
